Empower Every Child, Embrace Every Ability

HHRD currently supports 2,700 children with disabilities across Pakistan, Jordan, Kenya, and Afghanistan. These children often face marginalization due to poverty, prejudice, and lack of services, preventing them from fully participating in society. Your contribution of $720 per year, or $60 per month, can help provide essential care, education, and opportunities, giving these children a chance to thrive with dignity and hope.

As a leader to empower lives, creating opportunities and strengthen the bond of humanity.

How much does it cost to sponsor a child?

The cost of one on one sponsorship is $2/day which is $60/month and $720/year.

HHRD’s Children with Disabilities Sponsorship Program provides support for 6 major components. While their implementation varies by region, each child will receive support in each of these areas.

  • 1. Rehabilitation Services – include assistive devices and mobility aids, transportation to and from HHRD rehabilitation centers, physical, occupational, Speech and psychotherapy as evaluated and prescribed by doctors
  • 2. Food & Subsistence – Food distributions, clothing and monetary support
  • 3. Educational Support is tailored to the functional capacities and developmental needs of each child with disability. For children enrolled in formal education settings—either mainstream or special needs institutions—support includes tuition support, provision of educational materials, school uniforms, and shoes. For those with limited access to formal schooling, alternative learning pathways are provided through basic literacy and vocational training programs. In cases of severe disability, interventions prioritize training in activities of daily living (ADLs) to enhance self-care, autonomy, and overall quality of life
  • 4. Health – Annual medical checkups, healthcare assistance through referrals to specialists, and hygiene kits
  • 5. Social Upliftment – extracurricular activities to foster community and combat isolation
  • 6. Child Protection Rights – Child protection efforts include regular follow-up visits with children and their families at both home and school environments to ensure safe, abuse-free, and nurturing conditions. Caregiver training workshops are conducted to build awareness around the rights of children with disabilities and promote positive caregiving practices. Community sensitization initiatives—such as awareness walks, designated sensitization days, and educational workshops—are organized to foster inclusive attitudes, reduce stigma, and strengthen community support for children with disabilities and their families.
We recommend that a donor sponsors a child for at least a year. However, one can continue to sponsor the child until the age of 18, which is when the child graduates from the program.
If you are unable to maintain $60 per month, you are welcome to donate any amount to the general children with disabilities support fund. The general children with disabilities support fund is utilized to provide assistance to children who are currently registered with Helping Hand but do not have a dedicated donor along with starting up the children with disability program in new areas around the world. General support is a collective pool of funds that HHRD taps into when financial resources are required for the Children With Disabilities Program.

For specific one-to-one sponsorship, please donate the specified $2 a day or $720/year. For the general
children with disability support fund, HHRD will accept any amount that you would like to donate.

Once your sponsorship donation is settled in our system, we will make the profile available to you through an email notification. You will be required to log into your online account to view the child’s profile. A medical health assessment report is made available to the donors within the given year of the sponsorship. A rehabilitation progress report is shared with the donor once every 2 years. An email notification will go out to the donor’s email when a new report is uploaded online.

    To be part of the program, the child has to be below the age of 18 and a resident of the local district. The annual household income of the beneficiary should be below the poverty line as defined by the country of residence. The child is required to have at least one or more of the four types of disabilities, which include physical, intellectual, visual, or hearing impairments.
    HHRD will be happy to send out any letters or cards that you wish to send to your sponsored child. Since these children generally struggle with communication issues, we might not be able to provide the child’s response to you. If you are visiting the country your sponsored child is from, HHRD can assist with your visit with the child and the family in a safe space upon request and completion of the necessary documentation.
    If we haven’t heard back from you within a 30-day period from when the sponsorship has expired, the Child profile will be removed from your account and placed back on the website as an available sponsorship.
    You can cancel your recurring donation if you’d like. Please call us at 313-279-5378 Option 2, Monday – Friday, 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM EST.
